Packers sign LB Shaun Lewis

The Packers, who had an open roster spot, have added a player who tried out for them at their May rookie minicamp, signing linebacker Shaun Lewis, the club announced Tuesday.

An Oklahoma State product, the 5-foot-11, 226-pound Lewis recorded 73 tackles (eight for loss) as a senior in 2013. He earned second-team All-Big 12 honors from The Associated Press in 2012 and 2013. Lewis likely projects inside in the Packers’ 3-4 scheme and could be asked to chip in on special teams.

With Lewis’ addition, 30 percent of the Packers’ roster spots belong to rookies (27-of-90), with two-thirds of the rookies added after the draft in free agency.

I can see this guy being the best player on the D for years to come!!!!

Which is hard to do because the pack D is so good. Did you see them last year when ARod went down and we needed them to step up? I tell yah they sure did along with the other superstars we have from TT!!!

Way to go TT on finding us another blue chipper, if ARod goes down this year it will be just like last year and the rest of the stellar roster will step up and stomp the league like did last year!!!!!

And now for a dose of reality. The Vikings rank 32nd defensively in Points, 31st Defensively in Yards overall and 31st against the pass. They are the absolute WORST defense in the league bar none. They are marginally better than the packers vs. the run ranked 16th… still in the bottom half of the league.

The Vikings rank 15th offensively in scoring, 13th in yards total 23rd in passing yards and 8th in rushing yards. The packers rank better in every category… yes including rushing. Put that in your pipe in smoke it. And that’s sans Aaron Rodgers for almost half a season. So… enjoy your fantasy. Us here in reality know you’ll be fighting the Lions for 4th place, and the lions will stomp you with ease.

..and yet with all those positions supposedly in the Queens favor they still ranked lower in both defense and offense and remain favorites to finish last in the division again. Lmao what a joke of a franchise they have there in Minnesota.

The only thing I can agree on is that MM can’t call plays to save his life. But your worst call, is on Lacey. What more can he do but win rookie of the year. You may or may not have the best running back, which is going to change drastically in the next couple of years, but we have the best group at the RB position.

Isn’t everyone on this thread, haters included, only trying to acknowledge; “The Packers Own The Vikings,” …..but in their own way?

The envy lives on with the red headed stepchild’s to the west. They post continually on opposing articles trying to garner attention because most media outlets don’t even waste their time posting an article about them due to lack of interest. You can insult and beat your chests but it doesn’t change the fact the Vikings have been a laughingstock and are predicted for another last place finish.
